　　Mount Ali has an elevation of some 3 000 metres above sea level. Here the
temperature drops as one ascends higher and higher so that in a short couple of
hours one can experience the weather changes in all the four seasons and admire
the kind of scenery and plant life peculiar to the climate of, so to say, all
the latitudes.

　　A light railway and a highway thread their way uphill through tree-clad
slopes to the very summit of Mount Ali. The railway is 72 km long, beginning
from the City of Jiayi and terminating at Zhaoping. On its way, the train has to
cross 86 bridges, 66 tunnels and more than 30 gully crossings.

　　Travellers in the train crawling its way slowly up the mountain can have a
real good time, feasting their eyes on the scenery and chatting to each other as
the mood carries them. After the train leaves the North Gate Station of Jiayi,
it runs on the plains at the foot of the mountain and one sees through the
window lush green bamboo groves and fields of densely grown sugar cane.

　　As the train threads its way in the rugged hilly country crossing one clear
stream after another, one would feel as though he had entered a world as
ethereal as that in a Chinese landscape painting, passing now a woodland scene
and now a secluded ravine with a quiet-flowing mountain brook. The peace of mind
one enjoys while traveling in level country is suddenly shattered by the sight
of precipitous cliffsides. While the train makes it way in this pictorial world
of Mount Ali, travelers cannot help but marvel at the magic wonders of nature
and the wisdom and courage of the railway builders.

because you can get there by______.

　　Professional travelers are similar to business travelers in many ways,
although this type of travel is more elastic than business travel. Professional
travel is built around the meeting and convention markets. These markets have
grown as transportation, especially by air, has become more available and
affordable. As professional travel continues to grow, new and expanded meeting
and convention facilities have been developed to satisfy this increasing demand.
Along with this growth, new management challenges have arisen to serve this
specialized market. Some of the key market segments for meeting participants or
attendees are associations, businesses, exhibitions and trade shows, religious
organizations, political parties, and governments.

　　Many futurists have also predicted a decline in business and professional
travel with the introduction of teleconferencing. However, people continue to
have a strong desire to meet each other face-to-face. Although teleconferencing
serves to introduce people to each other electronically, they will eventually
want to meet in person to interact and network. This need for personal contact
and interaction has allowed the business travel market to grow even in the face
of advancing technology.

　　In response to the needs of the business travel segment, tourism service
suppliers have offered a wide array of services and benefits. Airlines
instituted frequent-flier programs and service upgrades including business class
and provided corporate pricing, discounts and rebates, travel lounges, and
preferred check-ins. Amtrak developed club service with reserved seating, snack
and beverage service, telephones, and conference rooms on some trains. Car
rental companies, following the lead of airlines, established frequent-renter
programs, which provided corporate pricing, discounts, rebates, upgrades, and
special check-in procedures. Hotels and other lodging properties have provided
similar benefits to business travelers including corporate pricing, discounts,
and rebates; special floors and sections including business centers, frequent
stay programs, and upgrades.

　　21. A lot of professional travelers are planned to attend some kind
of______.

　　A. associations B. political parties

　　C. conferences D. specialized markets

　　22. As a result of modern communication facilities some people believe that
business and professional travel may ______.

　　A. develop B. reduce

　　C. disappear D. grow

　　23. In order to attract professional travelers the airlines offer them many
kinds of______.

　　A. special floors B. discounts

　　C. business centers D. beneficial treatments

　　24. Electronic technique helps achieve the purpose of professional
activities, but people have a strong desire to meet each other ______.

　　A. in business B. in public

　　71.In general, the world's developed nations, owing to the advanced
development of their economies and scientific technology, have experienced high
levels of tourism demand and supply. Tourist facilities and services have been
expanded and developed around the world to meet the rising demand of travelers
from developed countries. But, the unbalanced levels of economic growth among
different countries have led to disparities in tourism development. In
developing countries, the low level of economic livelihood restricts the
development of a domestic tourism industry. This is true even in those countries
with a strong international tourism sector. Most of the people in the developing
world are still struggling to make ends meet. Thus, leisure travel for them
remains a distant dream.

　　72. Generally there are two types of tour guides, one in charge of local
sightseeing and the other accompanying a group throughout its travels and making
all the arrangements for the group. In China, they are usually known as local
guide and national guide. The sightseeing guide must be familiar with the points
of interest that he is showing to the visitors. He usually gives prepared talk
but he must also be prepared to answer a lot of questions. And of course he has
to deal with any problems that occur during the tour. These may include bad
weather, sudden illness, an accident and so on. It would be impossible to name
everything that might happen. A sightseeing guide needs two qualities—an
outgoing personality and language skill.
